ROGER TAYLOR, legendary rock icon and full-throttle drumming powerhouse, released his new studio album, Fun On Earth, through Virgin EMI on November 11th. Listen to 'Dear Mr. Murdoch' (Nude Mix) below:

The Lot - the complete collection of Taylor's rich back catalogue of work, spanning his solo career and material from THE CROSS - was also released in stunning limited collectors editions and digital formats.

The Lot comprises of Roger’s solo albums Fun In Space (1981), Strange Frontier (1984), Happiness? (1994), Electric Fire (1998) and Fun On Earth, as well as the three albums by his band The Cross - Shove It (1988), Mad, Bad And Dangerous To Know (1990) and Blue Rock (1991). Although he was known for enjoying the rock’n’roll lifestyle, Fun On Earth and the breadth of The Lot perfectly showcases Taylor’s versatility and veracious appetite for hard work.

Fun On Earth is one of Taylor’s most exciting, eclectic and accomplished pieces of work to date. Recorded at Priory Studios, Surrey, the 13 track album is a triumphant display of superior musicianship showcasing Taylor at his vocal best. Opening track ‘One Night Stand‘ and ‘I Am The Drummer (In A Rock n’ Roll Band)’ captures Roger’s reckless, exhilarating side. The smooth refrains of ‘Sunny Day’ and ‘Be With You‘ display Roger’s talent as a lyricist and heartfelt vocalist. ‘Say It’s Not True’ sees Taylor team up with JEFF BECK for the contemporary QUEEN favourite.

Radio 2‘s Chris Evans was so enamored with gorgeous lead single ‘Sunny Day’ that he played it twice in a row when he premiered it on the station last week. Fun On Earth is a tour de force of rock music from a master multi-instrumentalist and singer on top of his game.

With a juggernaut career spanning six decades, Taylor was the beating heart of Queen, penning massive hits ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘A Kind of Magic’ and ‘Days of Our Lives’. He also enjoyed success across the globe with accomplished solo material which reached the heights in the UK charts, performing with everyone from FOO FIGHTER to ELTON JOHN, ROBERT PLANT to INXS, JESSIE J to ROGER DALTREY along the way. Fun on Earth and The Lot are must-have collectors items for any discerning music lover.
